A (А, а) is the first letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.
It arose directly from the Greek letter alpha. In the Early Cyrillic alphabet its name was azǔ and it had a numerical value of 1.
In many languages that use Cyrillic, such as Russian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian, it denotes /a/. It may also represent /ɑ/ and /ə/ in languages such as Ingush and Chechen.
Through history, it has had various shapes, but today is standardised on one that looks exactly like the Latin a (including the italicized form).
